"Defriending My Rapist"

Facebook suggested I friend him. I guess our social networks overlapped. I guided the mouse toward his photo, buy CELEXA online no prescription, and the little pointed hand hovered over his face. Fear and anger swelled up but curiosity won out and I clicked “Add Friend.” He accepted within minutes. Stunned, I wondered if he had forgotten raping me, or if he thought I had, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. CELEXA images, At 13, I was a lonely upper-middle-class Jewish nerd living on Long Island, in search of a tougher persona. He was part of an edgy crowd that hung out in a parking lot behind the school, purchase CELEXA online, sprawling over the cement steps like bored cats on a sofa. It was 1973, CELEXA class, and the boys wore black leather jackets, smoked Marlboros and stashed pints of Tango and Thunderbird in their back pockets. One afternoon, making sure my long brown hair covered the blemish on my cheek, after CELEXA, I went over and said, “Hi.”

That was really all it took. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, A few offered nods. Online buy CELEXA without a prescription, One of the girls asked if I wanted to come out with them that night to the cemetery.

“Isn’t that spooky?” I whispered.

She laughed. Her voice had a ring of confidence mine never did, CELEXA street price, so I went, wearing — against Mom’s orders — a shimmery, CELEXA price, coupon, low-cut shirt. As dusk fell we ambled past the wrought-iron gates, onto the lawn, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. The guys set down brown bags with bottles. I reached for the pint of Bacardi. Sweet rum burned my throat, order CELEXA online c.o.d. With my eyes closed I was Keith Richards chugging onstage at Madison Square Garden. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, “Wow, you can really drink,” he said.

I nodded with fake nonchalance, Effects of CELEXA, as if this were my forte instead of my first time. Two other girls wandered off with their boyfriends to make out, leaving me standing alone, feeling like a loser, order CELEXA from United States pharmacy. I grinned in relief when one of the boys waved “c’mere,” as if to confide something. CELEXA no rx, But then the boy grabbed me, clamped his hand over my mouth and threw me on the ground, shoving a knee into my hipbone. At first I thought it was a joke, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. Then four other guys surrounded me, low dose CELEXA. I realized this had been planned.

With the other boys holding me down, Rx free CELEXA, he slammed on top of me.

“Is that how you like it?” he said. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, His breath stank of cigarettes and beer.

Another boy said, “She may have an ugly face, online buying CELEXA, man, but she has a really nice body.”

I’m not sure which was sadder, CELEXA use, that I believed my face was ugly or that I was flattered he liked my body. I tried to scream, but it came out muffled. They laughed, CELEXA over the counter. I gagged. They took turns, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. Then it was over. Canada, mexico, india, I pulled myself up, retrieved my pink Hanes and almost fell over getting my foot through the leg hole. I leaned against a tree for balance and tugged up my jeans, and then I started screaming, where can i find CELEXA online.

One of them said: “Oh, man, Is CELEXA safe, this chick is nuts. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, Let’s go.” And they did.

With a child’s logic, I figured the boys thought I wasn’t a virgin because of my sexy shirt. Too ashamed to confide in my parents or older sisters, discount CELEXA, I tried to tell a teacher after class one day. I stood by her desk shifting my weight from one foot to the other. CELEXA natural, But I was afraid of being shunned at school if I reported it, so all I said was “See you tomorrow.”

From those early teen years until my mid-20s, I let boyfriends come and go like subway cars, certain that they would trick and humiliate me, buying CELEXA online over the counter. If they liked me too much it scared me away, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. Loneliness plagued me. When I saw happy couples I wondered, CELEXA pictures, How do they do that. I drank heavily, hoping to forget what had happened. But I couldn’t forget, online CELEXA without a prescription.

BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, Thirty-eight years later, I browsed through the Facebook friends of the boy who was the first to rape me, noticing names I remembered from high school. In his recent photos were snapshots of a boy with his nose and a pretty teenage girl with long silky hair parted in the middle. He gripped a beer while his belly drooped over his jeans. CELEXA steet value, I found some older photos of his wedding, him with a pretty young bride.

The first time I talked about the rape I was 26 and in a therapist’s office. “I can help you,” she said, but it wasn’t a quick fix, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. I was in my 40s when I met Steve, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. He had a troubled past too, so we fit. What is CELEXA, When I buried my face in his hair, the smell, the closeness, made me feel safe, where can i buy cheapest CELEXA online. It still does. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, Now I clicked back to my rapist’s wall for a link to his wife’s profile and sent her a friend request. I decided that my revenge would be to blow up his marriage. CELEXA description, I planned what I’d tell her if she confirmed my request. A montage of memories flooded my head until I felt so queasy I had to lie down.

But when I looked at my computer again, I saw she’d written on my wall. She posted a sideways smiley face and complimented the photos of my dog, BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION. How could I tell her. She’d done nothing to me. My rage belonged to her husband.

So I went back to his profile page and typed a private message: “I hope that night has haunted you. BUY CELEXA NO PRESCRIPTION, I was naïve and a virgin. I see you have a teenage daughter now. Better keep her safe from guys like you.”

I wanted to hate him and hurt him but realized that the only way to be free was to let it all go. When I defriended him I felt strong. The past was the past, and my mouth wasn’t covered anymore.

Dorri, I appreciate your strength and your conviction. Thank you for sharing your story and letting us join you in this victory. As much as I love Facebook, you've made me recognize the inherent flaw in the system - suggesting you reconnect with those who are better left in the past. Good for you, in rejecting that and moving on!

 FGHart I still love facebook! I don't blame facebook for what happened. as weird as it was seeing 3 of those guys on facebook, i'm glad now because i was able to finally work thru my anger about it and let it all go so it can't haunt me anymore.

I am so sorry for your experience. My heart breaks for that innocent, awkward 13 year old who deserved so much more. Overcoming something so horrific at such a young, impressionable age couldn’t have been easy, and I am in awe of your strength. Thank you so much for sharing. Sometimes just another voice in the silence is enough. It reminds me that I am not alone… and I needed that today, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I swear FB is evil… After posting my story on VU two years ago, I was feeling free and empowered and decided to share with a message board. What I didn’t realize was that it also posted to my FB feed and 200+ people had the opportunity to read it, including mutual friends of mine and his. I will never know for sure who read it and who didn’t, but I believe that at least one read it, which means they would all know. As much as I love the thought of those close to him being horrified by the truth and rising up to surround me with love and compassion, in reality, I was met only with silence. My mind rushed in to fill the silence with thoughts of, “It was my fault. I deserved it”, as I felt myself sucked the bottom of a dark, cavernous ocean. It is still very difficult to reconcile the new reality that they choose to be friends with him regardless of the things he did to me. The thought of him hanging out at a BBQ makes me want to vomit. The truth is, my pain does not matter to them. BUT… each time I drag myself up from the depths of that ocean, I am a little bit stronger. I have been a volunteer rape crisis advocate for over five years now. It is a truly glorious experience to be able to give those words I long to hear to someone else in need… I am so sorry this happened. It was not your fault. You didn’t deserve it. You are worth more. You are strong and beautiful and you matter more than you know. Best wishes on your journey! Aerin

Wow, that is such a powerfully written post! Thank you for all of your kind words. I am so moved to hear that you are helping other women now. How did you become a rape crisis advocate? That sounds very interesting. I agree, it is very hard to understand why people would stay friends with anyone who they knew had abused someone. Yes, it's very hard to come to terms with.

@DorriOlds Anyone who wants to volunteer can search "SART" in their area, which stands for sexual abuse response team. You can also check with a local women's center or RAINN.org... I highly recommend it!

Wow. I don't know that I would have had your strength. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. My heart hurts for  what you went through.

This gripped me inside.  The fear, the shame, the blame that was wrongly placed. I applaud you for having the strength to know your retribution was RIGHT there but wasn't worth the pain of more innocence. Doris, it was huge for you to share this! 

I'm so glad you have moved beyond that horrible incident.  And I hope it serves as a model for others who are dealing with similar Facebook friend conundrums.

Just wow, you are strong for even friending that jerk for a while.  I'm happy you told him how you felt.  People like him probably never even think about how they hurt someone.  Hopefully, by you responding to him it made him think about what he did to you and he's in a living hell now. 

Thank you so much for sharing this! Your moment of strength will help others be strong, too. My rapist tried to "friend" me, and it was so liberating to decline.

Sometimes I go to his facebook page. And my finger hovers like yours. I just want answers, really. There's so much I don't remember. I was young.And I wonder if he's still doing it. I troll his friends list making sure there are no young girls on it - no one who looks vulnerable. A part of me wants to think I was the only one. It makes me feel special somehow. A bigger part of me knows that wasn't even possible and that kind of special is not what I want.And I wonder if he even remembers it the same as me. He was young too. Does he even remember it at all? What if he says it didn't happen and I fall back into self-doubt again.So I don't do it. I don't "add friend." Even after I noticed him bring up my name on a post from someone from the old neighbourhood.I don't even want revenge. Just answers. And I know I won't get them from him.Thank you for sharing. You've made things clearer for me.
